A small aquarium layout featuring The Black Pearl, 63 L (16.6 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Charles Chan. The hardscape focus sits on Landscape stone, Purple teak..
The hardscape with Landscape stone sets the rhythm; planting should support those lines without burying them. About 11 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Netlea aqua soild (the 2nd generation), Netlea aqua sand. substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.
Modian B60 (the 2nd generation). lighting sits at a moderate-to-high technical level for this small aquarium. CO₂ (1 bobble per second.) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. 15w Sensen Filter cartridge. filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters.
